This will be a year of problem-solving, thinking creatively, and persevering even when the problems get difficult. We will do a lot of work in groups in order to practice expressing and justifying ideas. This wiki will have a box for each week, outlining what we did each day, as well as any homework for that night. Please do not hesitate to contact me (lmoore@latinpcs.org) with any questions or concerns.
Please bring the completed packet with you on the first day of school next year. This will be your first grade of the year! We do summer math in order to keep your minds sharp, since research shows that many students' achievement levels decline over the summer. This means that you start school having forgotten some of what you've learned in the past! We want to combat this "summer slide" by giving you just enough practice to keep your skills up over the summer. Feel free to email Mrs. Moore if you have questions.
